At GMC Utilities Group, our commitment to a greener, more sustainable future goes beyond words - it's reflected in the way we operate, the decisions we make, and the partnerships we foster.
This World Environment Day 2025, we proudly reaffirm our responsibility to the environment, with this year’s global theme, #BeatPlasticPollution, aligning directly with one of our most focused areas of action.
Beyond Plastic: Our Broader Sustainability Journey
While reducing plastic waste is a core focus, our sustainability agenda reaches far wider. GMC Utilities Group is taking action across multiple areas to ensure a long-term positive impact:
ISO 14001 Certified
We’ve implemented a robust Environmental Management System that integrates sustainability into our operational framework.
99% Waste Diverted from Landfill
We support circular practices across our worksites - reducing, reusing, and recycling to minimise environmental impact.
Switch to HVO Fuels
We’re transitioning our fleet to Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) - a cleaner, renewable alternative that significantly reduces carbon emissions.
Wildflower & Biodiversity Initiatives
Our sites support the All-Ireland Pollinator Plan, promoting biodiversity and pollinator-friendly spaces.
Cloudforest 'Cool Partner'
We proudly support native habitat restoration and species conservation through our partnership with Cloudforest, helping to preserve Ireland’s rich natural ecosystems.
Looking Ahead
As we mark World Environment Day 2025, we are proud of the progress we’ve made - but we know there’s still more to do. Our dedication to sustainability is not a box-ticking exercise. It’s an evolving journey - driven by innovation, accountability, and a shared vision for a cleaner, greener Ireland.
Let’s continue working together to #BeatPlasticPollution and build a sustainable future for generations to come.
